﻿What is the Danny Woo Community Garden?

Unless you are already aware of the Danny Woo Community Garden, it is easy to miss. Tucked behind a row of tall trees up against Seattle’s busy Interstate 5, it is not always visible to the average passerby. But don’t let its unassuming appearance deceive you – this community garden is anything but ordinary.

​The Danny Woo Community Garden was founded in 1975 and is located in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District at 620 South Main Street. The Garden is approximately 1.5 acres and contains nearly 100 plots that are cultivated and cared for by elderly Asian immigrant residents of the neighborhood. The garden is also home to a children's garden, chicken coop, outdoor kitchen, and fruit tree orchard. As the largest green space in the Chinatown/International District and Little Saigon area, the Danny Woo Community Garden is an essential place for the surrounding community to engage with nature, access safe and healthy food, and build cohesion with neighbors.
